[139] Atypical siblings
Since he was sensible, Nanke remembered that there was Sima Ling, a person who claimed to be his sister, but she had a different surname and a different hair color from herself.
"I am an only child! Why should I call you sister? ”
When the 5-year-old Nanke raised questions, the 6-year-old Sima Ling threw away the rag doll in his hand, and then rode on Nanke's lower back, pressing him so that he couldn't move on the floor for half an hour, and finally had to "admit the thief as a sister", but he was never convinced.
The old men of the two families have a deep comradeship, Nanke's grandfather and Sima Ling's grandfather are closer than brothers, and they even look seven or eight points alike.
I don't know if the two old men worshiped their brothers in the War of Resistance Against Japan, in short, Nanke's grandfather was a few years older than Sima Ling's grandfather, Nanke called Sima Ling's grandfather "Second Master", and Sima Ling called Nanke's grandfather "Uncle".
When the uncle was seriously ill and dying, the second master's strong man cried so much that he clenched the hands of his comrades, promising that Nanke would never be wronged at all.
"Big brother, don't worry, Xiao Nan will be my own grandson in the future, whoever dares to bully him will fight with whom! And Xiao Nan is now 15 years old, if he can take a fancy to my Xiaoling, in a few years, I will marry Xiaoling to him! I'm not worried about this kid marrying someone else! ”
The second master's voice was too loud, and this sentence spread to the outside of the ward, making 15-year-old Nanke and 16-year-old Sima Ling listen to it truthfully.
Grandpa died, his parents disappeared, and Nanke became a de facto orphan, but he held back his tears in front of Sima Ling until Sima Ling gave him a hug silently.
"If you're sad, cry out, don't suffocate your body, there is a sister to support you when the sky falls."
"You...... You're not my sister! Nanke, who was emotionally broken, cried and exchanged tears, and Sima Ling's short shirt was completely wet.
Sima Ling's face was sad, she was not angry as usual because Nanke refused to call her sister, but hugged Nanke tighter.
"Whether you recognize me as a sister or not, you are my brother."
The second master took Nan Ke home as soon as possible, Nan Ke had his own room in the Sima family's mansion, and his pocket money rose tenfold.
Sima Ling's bedroom is very close to Nanke's, and for the first year, they see each other every day like real siblings, and in order to soothe Nanke's wounded heart, Sima Ling plays more of a "gentle sister", which makes Nanke a little unaccustomed.
The rumor that Nan Ke and Sima Ling had a marriage contract also spread in the school at that time, whenever someone asked in person, Nan Ke always had to deny it, and Sima Ling's answer to this kind of inquiry was: "It's about you?" ”
Nanke always thought that the words that the second master said before his grandfather's death had an element of comforting his grandfather, until one day, he happened to hear the second master in the study seriously persuade Sima Ling's father to let the sculptor not object to Nanke's marriage to his daughter.
"I have no objection! Dad, whatever you say is what, and besides, I think Xiaoling is like her mother, I can't control it. ”
Sima Ling's father had just completed the fifth divorce procedure with his wife at that time, and he was in a bad mood, in fact, in the few contacts Nan Ke had with him, Nan Ke felt that Sima Ling's father was still a very easy-going person, but once he locked himself in the studio, he seemed to be a different person.
Nanke couldn't figure out what he was thinking, from that day on, he began to deliberately look for Sima Ling's stubble, once or twice Sima Ling could bear it, many times, Sima Ling finally roared: "You are sick!" "Hold Nank on the couch and punch him to beat him up.
"Hahaha-"
Nanke was pressed on the sofa but smiled happily, he felt that this was the real Sister Ling, instead of deliberately showing only a gentle side in order to comfort himself, the Sima family was too good to him, but made him feel alienated from being a guest.
The relationship between Sima Ling and Nan Ke quickly reverted to the earliest kind of awkward sister-brother relationship, and Sima Ling, who had any delicious and fun food, would think of Nan Ke, but if Nan Ke said anything bad about Sima Ling, Sima Ling would also repay him, and would not accommodate him like he did in the first year.
Although he complained "Sima, your true form has been revealed, it turns out that you can only hold on for a year at most", Nanke obviously prefers this natural attitude, and even Sima Ling shouted "Call me sister!" A blow to the chisel will make Nanke feel more at home with his family.
Nanke didn't want his relationship with Sima Ling to change, or rather, he wasn't mentally prepared for it.
Sima Ling inherited her mother's blonde hair and her father's black eyes, and like most mixed-race children, she was tall, cheerful, and had a good talent in the field of music, and worked as a guitarist in a student band, and every time she appeared on the stage, she would win a full house.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Nanke's opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he grasps it well, then let Sima Ling, who is controlled by his younger brother, transform this family affection into love, and marry this sister who is not related by blood, which is even more cost-effective than winning the five million lottery.
It's a pity that Nanke has been called "stupid Xiao Nan" since elementary school for a reason, many others think that fools don't take advantage of it, he doesn't take advantage of it, his IQ is not low, and even much higher than many people who like to take advantage, but he just insists on it stupidly.
Only people who are very, very familiar with Nanke, such as Sima Ling and Sun Xiaogui, will know that Nanke is actually a proud person, he has an uncompromising arrogance in his heart, even if he has been showing himself as an unenterprising otaku for a long time, it is just to lick the wounds of his soul when looking for his life purpose.
Grandpa taught him early on: "A man must not be arrogant, but he must not be arrogant." Nanke, who hides his arrogance behind cynicism, has never considered himself a weakling.
Only the weak will think about taking advantage every day!
Only the weak will take advantage of the kindness of others and in turn plot against them!
Nan Ke didn't want to get love from Sima Ling as a weakling, although with Nan Ke's understanding of Sima Ling, he knew that as long as he pretended to be very lonely, very hurt, very confused, and in need of comfort, Sima Ling, who felt sorry for himself, would cross that line first.
Many people think that Nanke is very stupid, and he has a lot of family wealth and a beautiful wife, but he doesn't know how to grasp the opportunity, and when the second master left Dongshan City to run for the interests of the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, he secretly moved out of the Sima family's mansion and rented a small room outside the school.
Nanke didn't care about other people's opinions, he just felt that when the second master was traveling and Ling's father was in retreat, only he and Sima Ling lived under the same roof, which was not very fair to Sima Ling.
(Is the second master deliberately creating opportunities for our two juniors?) Did he make up his mind to marry Sister Ling to me? Did the second master say anything superfluous to Sister Ling before leaving, would it give her some pressure? )
There is no doubt that Nanke likes Sima Ling, as can be seen from the battle between him and Gu Kangming, Gu Kangming injured Sima Ling, and Nanke immediately rushed to the crown in anger.
But Nan Ke is not sure if he likes Sima Ling simply as a younger brother, just as Sima Ling is not sure if he is simply loving Nan Ling as a sister.
The common tacit understanding between the two is to treat each other as important and irreplaceable family members, although they will quarrel as long as they appear together, but that is just good evidence.
On this night in Zanti Village, Nanke dreamed of Sima Ling, which was a real thing, and he recalled in the dream that Sima Ling and the band members were interviewed by the scouts of "Tianmu Starlight", and he was called out by them to help carry things. Because Sima Ling behaved intimately with herself, the scout reminded Sima Ling: "The contract stipulates that you can't have a boyfriend within three years before your debut, if you look like this and are photographed by the paparazzi, it will be bad for you and us." ”
Nanke wanted to explain that he was just Sima Ling's godbrother, but Sima Ling immediately slapped the table, and more than twenty pages of contract printing paper were scattered all over the floor.
"I just thought it was fun! Who is scarce about your signing money? Don't try to dictate my life! ”
Originally, Tianmu Xingguang's first signing target was Sima Ling, but because Sima Ling was too angry, she finally signed a contract with her other band members, and now the band has developed well without Sima Ling, a guitarist, and its popularity is second only to Shu Yi, the pseudo-niang idol promoted by Tianmu Xingguang.
However, Sima Ling has never regretted her impulsiveness, and she occasionally plays the guitar to Nanke on Nanke's birthday, and that skillful fingering always makes Nanke feel guilty.
The day brightened slightly, and the day had come to destroy the voodoo magicians, and Nanke lay on his back on the bed, somewhat surprised to find Jade in his arms, and she was still sleeping soundly in her clothes.
(Did I dream about anything else last night?) I can't remember exactly...... Jade, you are really, if you resist a little, you will not be used as a pillow by me. )
Jade is a year older than Sima Ling, but she doesn't act like a sister in front of Nanke, maybe because she is a ring spirit, maybe because she is not as tall as Sima Ling, in short, Jade who was hugged by Nanke's left arm around her waist obediently leaned sideways and clinged to Nanke, looking like a bird.
Nanke inexplicably had a feeling of being sorry for Sima Ling, but he never admitted that Sima Ling was his fiancée, and his emotions were a bit unknown.
"Five-star ability, shouldn't be considered weak, right?" Nank raised his right hand, which was able to move freely, to his eyes and muttered to himself in a very low voice, "Should I look like a strong man?" Is my strength enough to protect Sima? If I am no longer a weak person in front of Sima, then ......"
The mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated sound, Nanke picked up the phone and saw the text message from Qianxue:
"We already have VIP Gold cards for 17 jewelry stores, but the Teleportation Stone is not enough to recharge. By the way, I saw a novel on the Internet called "Because I Can't Pay Back the Money, I Volunteer to Be My Sister's X Slave", do you want to take a look at it for reference? ”
Nanke almost didn't drop his phone out.
"Who wants to be my sister's X slave! The money of the Sima family is not blown by the wind! I'm going to dig for dog's head gold right now! Isn't it a copy of the Death Mine? This kind of beginner's copy is the easiest! ”
